Hi all,
I'm getting back to mel after some time away from Maya and it turns out I've forgotten alot of stuff and it looks like everything is moving to python too. 
I'm creating a group and parenting 3 locators to it, but I'm losing the abiltiy to select the objects after they are parented. I know it's because the name changes from something like "|locator" to "locatorGRP|locator". And if I run the script a couple of times I get locatorGRP1|locator, locatorGRP2|locator.....etc. What's a good way to handle the situation? should I search for other nodes with the same name and increment so that they each have a unique name, or should I build the long name by concatenating the locator and parent names? I'm just kind of curious how the Pro's do it.
Thanks,
James
Ps. More questions will be coming as I remeber what else I've forgotten.
